Hum…If you notice “js_composer_front.js” is not loading on this page. I had a look and it seems the Visual Composer only loads it’s script if there is a row on the page. So maybe try adding a little function to ensure it loads everywhere there is a sidebar, example:

The sample data is pretty big. It’s possible your server can not handle it. What most developers do is setup a localhost so they can import and try the theme locally then they can create their site on the live site, this will also make it much quicker because your live site won’t be bloated with sample data and images. I would highly recommend it. Plus working locally you don’t put extra stress on the server and its WAY faster.

You could also try importing without the images, because that should be very fast.

One other CSS question. I am trying to figure out what CSS needs to be changed so the following plugin output follows the rest of the website colors, it looks like its defaulting to the themes original colors and not the colors I have set up on the website. Here is the output from the plugin: http://curtfish.net/idx/mls-20649469-100_sunny_st_newport_beach_ca_92707

If you could either point me to the CSS that needs to be changed so the with boxes become cream (#F8FAEC) with blue text (#242C3F) and vice versa so everything shows up on the page with these colors – if this is outside support please let me know.

There is a lot to style here though, so I can’t help you with all of it. Unfortunately I am not everyone’s personal developer I really need to focus on answering theme related questions and issues, since support is provided for free.

I do help as much as possible when it’s a tweak here and there, but I can’t spend an hour knocking out custom CSS for people. I hope you understand.

Or if you are new to web design and want to learn I highly recommend you check this out – https://developer.chrome.com/devtools/index – I find this to be the easiest way to see where styles are coming from and how to edit them.

Have just started trying to work on my site offline for the first time using MAMP but am having problems with Visual Composer. The black Visual Composer bar is missing at the top of the page (where it usually says classic mode or front-end editor), and the module on the bottom of the page doesn’t seem to be loading correctly either.

Re-installed and cleared cache but still no luck. It seems like everything installs correctly.

I’m not quite sure on file/folder permissions, but I haven’t done anything out of the ordinary, so I don’t think anything would be restricted? Everything else is working but that. Are there some kind of MAMP restrictions? I’m on the free version.

Looks like you might have everything installed under a “test sites” folder. You really should avoid adding spaces to folders when working with a server environment because then files can’t be found properly.

If you can switch that to test-sites or test_sites, I bet it will all work

Hi folks,
i think about buying your theme to exchange my x-theme. so my urgent question is – is it possible to build fullscreen layerd pages like here:
http://kampfkunst-photos.de
And second is it possible to set elements of visual composer above a main menue?
last question – can i add third party plugins to the included VC version? i had big issues with my xtheme as it was also customised and so it was not possible to add custom plugins.
thanks in advance for your answer !
regards
carsten

2. The Visual Composer only works within the post editor, so having items above and below it wouldn’t be possible in any theme (unless you are copying/pasting the shortcodes). If what you want is adding a slider above the menu it is possible – http://cl.ly/image/3Q1s1B1C0P1O

And of course this theme has some useful hooks you can hook into via a child theme

3. Which custom plugins. If you want and there aren’t many I can test them out. My theme modifies some things of the Visual Composer, but as long as those plugins are coded correctly it shouldn’t be a problem.

I know some authors make edits to core Visual Composer functions, but I don’t do that. I tweak outputs, but not core functions, that should ensure compatibility.

Hi again, thanks for your lightning fast answer! Ok just to go sure – with full width page i didn´t only meant the with but also to fill up the available hight with say my revolution slider so if a user enters the page he will see only one big image (out of e.g. the slider) and underneath the navigation (as shown in my excemple homepage here:
http://kampfkunst-photos.de

second to VC plugins:
i use the followings:
Visual Composer Customizer Add-on
Woo Detail Product Page Builder
Visual Composer Extensions All In One
Templatera – Template Manager for Visual Composer

Additionaly i want to use the “Justified Image Grid – Premium WordPress Gallery” plugin to show up my nextgen gallerys in grids.

So if all this goes well with your theme i will go for it
thanks for your answer in advance

Ok that’s a lot of premium plugins you mention, it would cost me a lot more to buy them all and test then what I earn per sale on the theme What I can guarantee is if you run into any issue I’ll do my best to help you out, especially if the issue is caused by the theme. If it’s an issue caused by the plugin though I’ll let you know so you can contact the plugin author for support.

hahaha ok so don´t do this on the next weekend – hahahah – just a joke – lets see if it will be not tooo much work to come into the logic of the theme and do the migration from my actual one.

perhaps you will add in futer an option to completly remove the container / header /footer / sidebar. this was what made x-them so outstanding and flexible. i didn´t see this in any other theme (unfrtunatly). thanks for beeing there

I see how “other” themes are coded and I stand by mine 100%. I’ve tried to build my theme in a way that even if all theme options are stripped away (which can actually be done easily with a single function in your child theme) things will still work 100% and can still be altered via a child theme. This provides for a more fluid and powerful while at the time less bloated structure.

Here is my question. Can we create a landing page, with no navigation, using the page specific CSS for specific pages? I want to keep all of the pages on the site versus a separate subdomain of the marketing automation platform…. Any ideas?

I read your built-in message to deactivate YOUR VC extension. I did. WP says VC needs an update. It wouldn’t update like it would in the past and it gave me the same error as some other people already have (missing package). Weird cause it would update OK in the past. I did update the theme as well. I followed your instructions here https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=IlGC6yp_mpk After I deleted VC plugin, I don’t see the message “you need to install VC…”

Very strange…the only reason that message wouldn’t show is if the plugin is still installed, the cookies are set and you cleared the message, or if you don’t actually have permissions to install plugins.

Quickest thing though, would be to locate the plugin, it’s in the theme at Total/plugins/js_composer.zip and just install it manually.

The Visual Composer in Total is version 3.7.4 and Wordpress tells me to update to version 4.2.3, but that doesn’t work. An error message occurs and say there’s no update available. Isn’t it possible to update the Visual Composer or did i something wrong?

my theme options is not working… all options are displayed on one single continuous page and its not functioning. i am unable to make changes via the theme options. i’ve read through the comments and looks for any similar problems.. and did most of the suggested solutions like turning off all the plugins but none of them seem to work.

i have some bugs with the mainmenu and the togglebar. The mainmenu is over the tooglebar when they is open. And there are more suspect loads on the site. sometimes its not loading all content in admin when i open a product or page.

I think its something with the javascript or css but i don´t want to make experiments It was hard enough to get to run with the WPML plugin the page.
some errors you can see here:

www.pixavi.co.uk

click on the tooglebar right an you can see what i mean.

The other thing is when i want to delete a product from cart it dosn´t work. The site load new but the product stay in the cart.
Make a test… take this product in the cart and then try it to delete it.http://www.pixavi.co.uk/shop/arabica/?lang=deI’m really desperate on. Please help

OK,
the problem with the Cart and clear a product is solved. It was when you dublicate a product with WPML.

Where I now really need help is when loading the page!
Something just does not match the CSS or Javascript.
If I, for example, switch on the forum page from English to German, the German forum page throughout is narrower than the English. And the search field is not in line with the search button.

When I click on an image and opens the lightbox, then the menu is all over it.

Moreover, the problem is there that I often have to refresh the page again when editing content, so that all load processing fields.

Sorry for the delay, I just responded to your email. But I hadn’t seen this comment prior. Please respond back to my email if you still have issues and I’ll get right back at you and we’ll get this sorted out immediately.

How do I make a top menu item (like “Short Codes” and “Services” on your demo home page) not open when clicked? I have a heading that opens up into an expanded menu (like the demo) but I don’t want it to be it’s own page.

One more question though! When I make a main menu item non clickable, it does not stay that way in the expanded mobile menu. Is it supposed to? I don’t want anyone clicking on it because there is no page to open. I know people will click on the name vs the triangle.

So, is there a way to do this or should I just leave the menu open (saw this in the FAQs)? Please help, thanks again.

Is there a way to make the copyright footer have less space top and bottom, like a -30px or -50px margin?

Also, I am having a problem getting my CSS to over ride the default colors and font families and the options for changing the font families doesn’t appear to be working either – trying to get the nav bar to Linden Hill with color #F8FAEC and all text to Arimo with color #F8FAEC. The body fonts show up white, gray and black and the nav bar won’t change font family using the options screen and the CSS doesn’t appear to be doing the trick either.

It looks like the sticky navigation should be working fine based on the code, so its pretty tricky to troubleshoot. Can you try disabling the Javascript minify in the Theme Options panel under the “Optimizations” tab to see if it works and so it’s easier to troubleshoot?

Opacity on the header background can be accomplished via custom CSS like this:

I am trying to include Google Maps in a toggle area. I have embedded the iframe code and when I view the map the location is correct. But for some reason the map’s default state is zoomed out to a view of the world.

Is there a way to correct this so that the map is zoomed in to a reasonable level?

This is because by default the toggle is closed and the map is hidden, so the height can’t be calculated properly.

It’s just how javascript works…its not really possible to fix without having a whole custom toggle function with a callback for the map

For SEO anyway, I would actually recommend creating a page for each. And on the landing page for the contact us have some nice buttons or images that link to each specific location and a page with the content.

The jQuery Ajax for auto-complete would require a 3rd party plugin, that’s not something I would ever build into the theme because it’s a lot of overhead and can bring a lot of crapy managed hosting servers down to their knees.

You can dump a searchbar into the navigation fairly easily via a custom function in your child theme + some added CSS.

That is correct, it drops it below the navigation (because there isn’t any added style for this modification because its custom), but it is inside the main navigation div. So you just have to apply some CSS to place it accordingly (absolute CSS positioning).
